Since there is a Hot Wheels dedicated thread. _________________ Its a mistress; an expensive, whiney, needy bitch of a mistress. She is a chunky, dirty girl with bad skin, little motivation and yet she always makes me smile. She sure has been around before shacking up with me. She has a direct line to my wallet, plays with my emotions, is consistantly jovial yet with a sarcastic and sardonic side, is consistant in her inconsistancy, and every once in a while gives me a great ride and a fantastic memory. |

Well, there's my avatar, a fastback, not quite the color of my Clementine fastback, but close enough.
I think I have the silver camper van in my collection.
These pictures are off the web, not my toys. That's about it for VWs; I probably have about 40 non-VW examples from back in the '60s. |

I'll have to assemble a group shot for future submission. I've always preferred MB detail and probably have 60 plus VWs floating around here. _________________

Here are just a few of mine that were handy for the camera. The Fastback I purchased new way back when I was 8 or 9.

Thanks. The Aston got a nose job to make it look more like the Thorndyke Special. _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.
